In this inspiring interview, Andrew Bellavia is joined by Richard Brown, Chairman and President of the Starkey Hearing Foundation, and Alfred Mwamba, Executive Director of the Starkey Hearing Institute in Zambia, to explore the foundation’s evolution from mission-based outreach to a scalable, community-empowered model of hearing healthcare.Brown and Mwamba detail how the Starkey Hearing Institute is training local healthcare workers to become hearing care providers, especially in regions where audiologists are scarce or non-existent. They share the foundation’s efforts to ensure long-term care, improve professional recognition, and work in partnership with local governments and universities to expand services across Africa and beyond. Their conversation highlights the importance of dignity, respect, and community-rooted solutions in tackling global hearing loss.Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter).- https://twitter.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearing- https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/
